Well, one my friend have 2 hard disk. So I installed fedora linux on the second. Now when I start fedora I see a hda system control than an error and something like this: "enter root password" "or type ctrl+d" if I press ctrl+d I reboot the computer. If I enter the root password I'm in a "read only" file system, so I can't do anything. I do that: install fedora, at the start I saw a hda control, but nothing of strange, than copy some files from windows to fedora and erase those files in windows. Than I reboot the computer and BOOM!!! The error come. So I tried with knoppix to copy files from fedora to windows, but I can't go in the home, I just can't read files from that home. So there are two solutions: -how to read files with knoppix? - how to erase the error with fedora Thanks for help!!!!!! (please answer!) bye bye P.S. I think that the hard disk of the my friend don't work very well, because windows become crazy every 2-3 months. (and sorry for my bad English)
